Belle And The Devotions
Belle and the Devotions were a British pop group, ostensibly a group named after the singer Kit Rolfe.

Although much of the music that appears on record charts is considered to be pop music, the genre is distinguished from chart music. Identifying factors usually include repeated choruses and hooks, short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), and rhythms or tempos that can be easily danced to.
